one_o stand_v by_o interpose_v and_o desire_v they_o to_o inform_v he_o what_o be_v the_o real_a difference_n betwixt_o those_o two_o sort_n or_o party_n for_o a_o while_n there_o be_v deep_a

all_o that_o he_o can_v hear_v do_v amount_v to_o no_o more_o than_o that_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n in_o the_o practice_n of_o some_o particular_a congregation_n which_o will_v be_v in_o the_o
